A S«qw) >o lov'i fair Horizon By ADELE GARRISON * * * Mary and Roderick Go Off Together, Leaving the Grahams and Junior to a Quiet Evening Syaoptki A* toon at Chtrlw Spencer, loader in Government Intelligence, hot left tha family gathering in tilt Grahtm Hotel Ltntfldd euite to welcome the unexpected return from preparatory eehool of hi* grand ton and grandnephew. Junior and Roderick, Mary Vcritaon arises and addreeaet Rod orick. **Corae with me, little brother," the adjures him, "and we'll have a powwow. We haven’t had one for ages, end it’s time we brought ou reel vet up to date." THE look on Roderick’s face as Mary summoned him to a “pow wow’* in her room, brought a lump Into my throat. The boy always has idolised his older sister, and I knew that this chance for an unin terrupted talk with her was like manna to him. There was something more than adoration for a loved sister in his eyes, however, and in another in stant I realized what it was—an inordinate boyish pride in Mary’s prestige as a Broadway star. Framed Photograph “This is my sister,” I could ima gine him saying to his schoolmates as he showed them his framed and autographed portrait photograph of Mary in her starring role. I had Junior’s authority that both boys called her their “pin up girl,” and that their relationship to her made them the envy of their classmates. I had no time for mental remin iscence, however. Junior was at my aide, his strong young arms grasp ing mine, and pulling me to my feet. “Come along over to the couch,” he said, “and make a sandwich be tween Dad and me. It seems a thou sand years since we chewed the fat together.” I knew that Dicky was as choky •s I was over the nostalgia in his voice, but he was wise enough to ease the tension of our reunion. “My boy,” he said pontifically, “I trust you do not mean a ham sand wich. Of course, your mother is of the theater, but—” Banal Jest I knew that he purposely had j voiced the banal jest, and recog nized his success, as his son laughed j uproariously, and then burlesqued a blow at him which Dicky dodged expertly. “You hit me below the belt,” i Junior complained. “But I don't care what happens as long as we have our jam session. Come on now, get going. I want to know every sin gle thing that’s happened since we left for school.” “Dear boy!” I protested. “You have had long letters from us twice a week since you've been gone.” “Was it two or three a week we always received from you?” Dicky inquired slyly, and our son's face , suddenly was crimson. “Aw, Dad!” he stammered, but , Dicky heeded the warning my eyes ( flashed at him, as well, I knew, as . his own inner promptings, and gave , shoulder. An Awful Truth “Forget that crack, son,” he said. “I had no business making it. To confess an awful truth, you have me ‘ beat a thousand to one when it j comes to writing letters home from I school. Mine used to run something ' l like this: ‘Dear Mother and Dad: t How are you? I’m pretty well, and > getting along all right, but I'm c stony broke. If you could send me 1 five I'll be ever so grateful. Your >. loving son, Richard.' j t “I’ve got a crust ribbing you about writing,” he went on. “You’ve r really been very good.” t “I've sent you letters like that,” : Junior said miserably. ! i “Of course you have.” Dicky said ( cheerily. “So has every boy away at \ school, who didn't have to work his < way through. And, I’ll let you in on ■ a secret. If a boy doesn't run the 1 thing into the ground, every dad i swells up with sinful pride when he gets a letter like that, and nine i times out of ten shows it around to • his particular friends.” (Continued tomorrow) ) Left-Overs "In Disguise" By ALICE DENHOFF HERE today, gone tomorrow is the succinct story of the best left overs. Sorry that we have to harp so much on the left-over theme, but high prices make it a necessity. So here are soma good recipes, dishes so good, so hearty, that it is difficult to believe that they utilize left over meat. If the larder yields enough for a cup of cubed roast beef, then prepare delicious beef-potato puffs. Combina 3 c. hot mashed potato (heat in double boiler if cold left over potato is used) one medium, grated onion, tsp. salt, tbsp. pre pared horseradish and few grains of cayenne.

Household Hints When you set your table, see that your setting harmonises—not matches, necessarily, but related and part of a whole just as a cos tume la related through its acces sories. A peasant linen cloth, for axample, is in harmony with bright pottery, pewter or pottery candle sticks. For more formal occasions, damask. Ana linen or lace eloths require Ane crystal and china. De cide on the mood you want and then atiek to It. The educational value of guided eo-eaemtive work in the home is an Important factor in a child's training. Therefore, if your small children—who are usually inter ested in kitchen work—want t<? help, 1st them do so. They will And great satisfaction m working with ethers, besides a feeling of being "wanted," Student First Aid Typewriter Helps By GARRY CLEVELAND MYERS, Ph.D. THE typewriter is desirable equipment for the high school and college student. There are notes to be recorded and papers to be writ ten in high school and college. Such work wins a higher grade from the teacher, as a rule, when typed than when in poor handwriting, and most youths don’t write by hand very egibly. Indeed, they themselves nay find it difficult and discourag ing to read for review their own totes. The unattractive appearance >f these notes makes them less simulating for thinking. Orderli less of notes may favor orderliness if thinking. Incidentally, most parents would ind letters from their son or daught er at college more legible if typed, lere I recall, regretfully, the let ers I used to scrawl to my father ind mother. I think I was often nore concerned about getting these etters written than about my par nt who had to read them. I some imes wish I could be back in those lays when they were alive, suppos ing I would be less selfish and more houghtful about them. I wish eachers of the upper grades and unior high might make their stu ents want to write oy nano more eatly and legibly, since it will be a .mg while before the average youth an own a typewriter. Could Buy Typewriter With the mounting cost of going o college, most eollege students an't afford a typewriter. But many lore than do could if they cut costs n less important matters, especial y on luxuries. Many other students ould afford a typewriter if they and heir parents sensed its usefulness. In high schools which have busi ess courses very few students elect yping because they plan to use the kill directly in a vocation. But nany bright students planning to o on to college might easily and rofitably find time to elect a course r two in typing. It might prove use ul to them all the rest of their ves. Learn Properly Of course almost anybody can ?arn to type in his own crude way. >t he rarely will acquire a high egree of speed and accuracy unless e learns in proper fashion. See the Pupil and Teacher I time and energy he may waste for I want of skill, not to mention his j usually inferior quality of typing. I can type only fairly well. I still I make some of the same mistakes I j made thirty years ago. If only I j had learned then to type properly. I would take a course in typing now but I just lack the necessary drive to choose the discipline. Youths rarely have such inertia. I entreat them: Learn to type well. For the child in the early grades who reverses letters and the like in spelling, a typewriter can be very useful. The machine always moves correctly from left to right. Many other grade-school children can find spelling and reading more fascinat ing if allowed to copy sentences or words from a book or words which the parent spells for them slowly. The time will come when children will learn to type at school as early as the fifth or sixth grade. Answering Parents’ Questions Q. Would you allow the youngster beginning to feed himself, use his bare hands? A. Of course: no better way to cultivate self-reliance and early en joyment of food. Wishing to be big, he soon enough will want to use a spoon or fork. By TRACY ADRIAN THE one pretty junior mod el you see here is wearing date frocks fromtwocollections . . . junior sizes, and misses’ sizes ... which gives her a wide opportunity as it can many other girls. All three frocks are of good quality, cut expertly by name designers, and still they are priced well under the limit that most girls set for their “best-dress” buys. Each of the dresses is basic ally simple enough to make-ac cessory changes a successful bafflement, letting scarfs, hats, gloves, shoes, jewelry, etcetera, delude people into thinking they see a very large wardrobe, instead of skillful handling of a single dress.

THE STARS SAY — Br KEMBLE For Wednesday, September 22 IT might be possible to arrest or bring to a halt a thriving and pro ductive state of affairs, by over doing, too drastic or strenuc i action, or by overventuresome per formance or tumultuous conduct. The latter may alleviate the good will and support in the way of capi tal or prestige, of vital bearing on success. Or ill temper, want of con sideration, could beget difficulties and loss, in energy, harmony and I peace of mind. For best results I maintain equipoise and be gracious | to all. Those whose birthday it is, may find.themselves keyed up to a course of action that coi\ld eventually block most promising and fertile fields of operation. This not only by tumultuous and irascible conduct, but by over-doing in a drastic and over ambitious effort to force the issues. Such ardent or belligerent tactics could drive away or irritate those whose friendly support or capital, is of vital consequence. A child born on this day may be too ardent for its own good, hamper ing success and progress by driving away the needful collaboration of partners and influential persons. V-— Use of Green in Decorating THE use of green for many rooms, especially for the bedroom, noted at the recent summer furni ture showings, has been confirmed in the model rooms that break out at this time of year. Green, restful, yet mildly stimulating, cheerful and smart, should be considered when doing over a bedroom. Homemakers will find unlimited possibilities for the use of some shade of green as the dominant color in headboards, drapery and uphol stery fabrics. Because green com bines yellow and blue, it has the bright sunny qualities of yellow and the restful quality of blue. In a dark room a bright sunny green adds gaiety and color and a feel ing of light, while a cool, darker shade of green is effective in an over-bright room. Use of Green Nature’s lavish use of green com bined with the blue of the water and sky, the colors of the earth and the rainbow hues of flowers, demon strates vividly the possibilities of mixing green with other colors, which can be equally well applied to work out desired room effects. Thus a pale spring green with pas tel colors is appropriate for a bed room of the dainty, feminine type. Dark bottle green with shades of beige or gray is a good choice for a masculine bedroom-study, while clear shades of green with red ac cents is a mighty cheery combina tion for a child’s bedroom. A display of headboards showed (Copyright. 1141, Kins Fat upnoisiery in every snaue oi green for pale chartreuse to deep forest green, and in every type of mate rial from simulated leather to lux urious quilted velvet. Lime Green Satin There was a handsome headboard upholstered in lime green satin and another design was done in a clear green velvet with button tufting, both nice for a definitely elegant type of room. More down to earth for most of us, was a headboard done in white and green striped glazed chintz. White accents are delightful in a green bedroom, especially for the deeper tone?, and an especially nice choice for a summer decor. Keep away from the too-pale greens un less they are well spiked with strong color accents. As for the actual job, by choosing green to set the color theme of the room, then planning a headboard to play up the particular decorative effect desired, the basic planning of a bedroom is done, as the rest of the furnishings will be naturally suggested. irsi Sradirate. las.) GOOD-LOOKING FAILLI dress in black, brown or dark green, with big gilt buttons, is cut like a coat and set for shopping or movie-date little sprees. * A New Fall Lipstick Offerings By HELEN FOLLETT IT may interest you at thia tea- 4 son of the year, when there are com plexion changes, when fashions * strike a new note, to observe lip stick offerings. You mey be sur prised to find how many different colors there are. Also you may won der just what shade is best for you. Divided into types there are or ange reds, clear reds, pink reds, fuchsias and orchids, brown reds, blue reds and deep wine tones that ^ are deep blue reds. Well bet a cookie you never realized there were so many, each one distinct in its j way. Tink Red The blonde should choose a pink red, as a rule, although sha can get away with fuchsia if the eldn haa a golden cast. The brunette his a wider choice, depending upon the . color of her complexion that can be • pale, rosy, creamy or golden. For her there must be a certain amount of experimenting. The girl with the olive skin can stick to her raspberry lip tint and look ravishing. The lipstick brush is a cute and useful little trick. Stroke the brush over the red cream, rest your finger on your chin to steady it, form pleasing curves with the brush. Fol low the natural lines as closely as possible. Then fill in. * By this method you won’t hava untouched areas, as may happen when you pass the rosy pencil over your mouth portals. Untidy Attempt* The slightest inaccuracy in ap plying coloring to the lips marks a woman as lacking fastidiousness. In daily observation one sees many un tidy attempts and that’a just two bad because the most important rule in make-up and hairdo is neatness. - No scrambled tresses, no smeary “ blushes, patchy powder applications or uneven lip borders. If the lips are thin, the pencil can go over the white surface ever so slightly. The color can be fairly vivid, though fire engine red-like silver eye shadows and green mas cara—is definitely out. It shows up every complexion defect and that ia not according to beauty Hoyle. ( ' Cheese Rabbit on French Toast a Hearty Dish * By IDA BAILEY ALLEN “HERE’S the menu for tomor row’s dinner. Chef.’’ He studied it for a moment. “I see there is no meat, no fish. For the main dish you have sug gested the cheese rabbit. I know the price of meat is high, and fish is go ing up, too. But do you think the cheese rabbit will be substantial enough to satisfy the appetite of a hungry family?" “Well Chef that’s a point well taken. Let’s apply a little arith metic. The recipe calls for a half pound of sharp American Cheddar cheese, a pint of milk and two eggs. Now that half a pound of cheese is equal in food value to a pound of beef. Besides, it contains plenty of vitamin A and calcium. The pint of milk is equal to one-fourth pound of beef. And 2 eggs are equal to about a fourth pound of beef. So all told, this cheese rabbit is the equivalent of lVi lbs. of meat. Besides, we’re going to serve it on French toast. By the way, when you make French toast for four persons how much milk and how many eggs do you use, Chef?" “I use a cup of milk and two eggs," he answered. Nutritive Value “Well, that adds still more nutri tive value to this dish, and all of the ingredients are first-class protein, which has the same effect on the body as meat. Besides, it tastes so good! Now aren’t you convinced that this cheese rabbit will satisfy the luo mum) . “Madame, when I am confronted . by a lady who is charming and who at the same time is the expert on dietetics and nutrition, my powers of argumentation simply melt away.” “Come now, Chef,” 1 laughed, “you knew it all the time. You were merely taking sides with the men who don’t think a meal is a dinner without a dish of meat. Of course, if you’re going to serve a ‘cheese dinner,' you must serve the cheese on, or with or in, some bulky food, that will give it a bite—something to chew on—and will also fill up the stomach. That’s why I planned to serve the rabbit on French toast. Summer squash and corn kernels cooked together will be good with it. I chose this combination because tnere’s an abundance of summerj squash that’s cheap, while fresh corn is up in price because it’s scarce. But, by combining them we bring down the cost and have a de licious combination vegetable. Fresh tomatoes are plentiful, so we’ll have a big platter full.” “May I suggest to open this din ner we might have a good French onion soup?” said the Chef. “And for dessert I see you have on the menu Southern apple-sauce served with ginger gems. May I ask what are these gems of ginger?” “It’s just my own fancy name for good old fashioned ginger-bread baked in muffin pans.” TOMORROW'S DINNKR Onion Soup Cheerr Rabbit on French Toast Squash and Corn Medley | Tomato Platter Southern Apple Sauce Ginger Gems Coffee or Tea Milk (Children) All Mtaturemtnft Art Itvtl Retipet Servt Four Cheese Rabbit Melt 3 tbsp. margarine in the top of a double-boiler.

TRICK Of THI CHBf For a gourmet flavor for cheese rabbit, sprinkle the top with little pieces of roquefort or bleu cheese. Food for Thought Cheese will dry out if you do not . take care. Cut off only as much ' cheese ss you need st one time. Keep the rest tightly wrapped in paper or clean cloth and in a cool place. Use the cheese before it haa a chance to dry out. When a Child Is Cross-Eyed By HERMAN N. BUNDE5EN, M.D. TOO many parents have the idea that time alone will correct cross eye. It is never safe to assume, as so many parents unfortunately do, that the baby with crossed eye will have outgrown the condition by the time he is ready for school. Such a child should be taken to an eye specialist as soon as his trouble is noticed. To wait in the hope that it will disappear of itself, is to neglect it at the time when it most readily can be corrected—dur ing the earliest years of life. A number of factors must be con sidered when cross-eye is present, e g., whether there is good vision in both eyes, and whether the person is able to fuse or bring together the images seen by each eye so that only one image, instead of two, is seen. Paralysis of various eye mus cles may be involved in cross-eye. In certain children, cross-eye shows up only when they are tired or excited. Severity of Defect Whether or not glasses should be put on the child will depend on the severity of the eye defect There is some disagreement as to when glasses can be worn satisfactorily by a young child. Frequently, a baby at the age of from 15 to 18 months can be fitted with glasses, by using a proper protective frame. In any event, the earlier the treatment for cross-eye is started, the better will be the results. Other methods of treatment used consist oi an occlusion or Diocxmg aft of one eye with a pad so that the Dther may be used exclusively. Exercises May Help Eye exercises also are at times of great help in improving the ability at fusing the images in both eyes. These exercises are used principally before and after operations, which may be required in some cases of cross-eye. In certain types of cross-eye, early operation may be advisable, particularly in those children born with cross-eye due to some disturb snce of the eye muscles. In the larger group of eases which start under the second year, operation, as a rule, is delayed until Dther forms of treatment have been tried. Only after the wearing of glasses and the use of muscle exer cises have been given a fair trial, should operation be considered. It would seem best that when op erations are needed they be done before the child enters school. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS J.
